Nice disc in the box and works well for porting.

When my wife bought an embroidery machine that used floppy disks, I wondered what decade I was in. Luckily they were available. I have used them and ordered more. Nice disc in the box and works well for transferring designs from computer to embroidery machine.

Pros
  • Featured
Cons
  • Fun Facts

very fast and perfect rims

I love these rims. I want the production to keep making these CDs because I think they are the best. They work great with more than one drive, write and format well, read discs very quickly with no data loss. I've only used Office Depot floppy disks. These discs make you want to change brands.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Not everything fits

I liked the fact that they are still available

I liked the fact that they are still available. My computer no longer has a working CD player, and to provide some redundancy for my novels I keep them on them. My previous external hard drive failed and without my CD collection I would have lost most of my digital copies of early novels.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Fragile

Good quality - buy while you can!

I have had no problems with any of the discs in the set of 10 that I bought in June 2012. Using it in my company is the safest, low-tech way (yet) to backup and share small amounts of data. It's especially important to consider ways of storing data other than using "cloud" storage, which is highly vulnerable and not necessarily secure, and you'll be out of luck if your internet connection drops.

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • unreliable

Excellent quality floppy disks at a fair price

Haven't bought floppy disks in years but recently had a "computer emergency" that necessitated one. Since floppy disks are long obsolete, they are not as easy to find as they used to be. (The Best Buy guy laughed at me when I asked about an external floppy drive.) Anyway, I was happy to find these Verbatim drives at a good price and I only had to buy 10. They look fresh and of good quality. quality and still work perfectly. Definitely recommended.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Broadly ok but...

My entire batch has failed since December 2015, first use

Not sure if this is a bad batch or just a bad place to store inventory; all drives failed to write correctly and consistently to two different USB drives. I've switched to a box of Imation discs that I bought a few years ago. worked the first time, as in the past. I bought this box to back up musical instrument files and wanted to use "a box" for a project - none of them suited my purposes, whether recording to/from Windows or from a music device; As such, I cannot recommend this particularโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Questionable senior purchase

Your technology is from the 90's, don't worry - here are some disks

State of the art technology, ultra high capacity (up to 1.44MB)! Who needs gigs when you can have 10 of them on one disk? If you buy them, you can rest assured that you're looking to the future and somehow knowing that floppy disks will come back. I recommend them to people who like to lie to themselves and believe they are in step with the times, people who hate change, people who were once tech savvy but stopped caring in 1993, time travelers of 1993 and People who still do think DOS isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Updates available

Pros
  • Builds Confidence
Cons
  • Out of Style

I'm so glad these CDs are still available! I have a whole box somewhere that I can't find, so I had to order more. They seemed like the best buy for the amount of discs I needed and a good brand name. They were in the original packaging so new as advertised. I've used one before and it works as it should. I have an old Sony Mavica camera and I find it easier to use and takes better pictures than any other new digital camera I have. Maybe the others are just too technical for me?! If I needโ€ฆ

  • Happy so far
